lTFFIlIS SuFgiGaODgafial
Y FATAL MISTAKE.

THr Czeuezaad (ohio) Press,
of February 2sd, 1883, pub
lished an account of fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
zeal men throughout the whole
country, DIR. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. IL
appears that a Mrs. King had
been lFcring for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
In attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar Undesirable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, ON
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followedIa
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosaye the patients
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DIR.
Vance in the presence of DIR.
Tuckerman, DIR. Perrier, Dr.
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DIR. Capner,
and DIR. Halliwell of the Police
] Boards The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer toSbe found. Tic pa
tient did not have n cancer.
When too t1atethe medical men
discovered that they had made
q terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours.a How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostr:ttion flor
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voilnninous to be.
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.
